A female United Kingdom age 26-29, anonymous writes:

Hi,

Yesterday i broke up with my first boyfriend because he didnt like my friends and i liked another boy.

He asked me out on msn so i thought i'd break up with him on msn so when i started saying how im breaking up with him he started saying how he loves me and he will always love me and how he never wants to be with another girl ever again but i stood my ground and still broke up wit him. he started saying how im the only thing he lives for and how was is extreamly depressed before i broke up with him.

Now today he came back on msn and said agai how he will always love me and he wishes we got back together.

We have so much in common but i feel nothing for him anymore and he thinks im his soulmate.

I still dont think i should get back together with him but am i doing the right thing?

Thanks

Personally I think you're doing the right thing, and well done for sticking to your decision-it was incredibly mature of you to stick to your guns instead of taking him back because of how he's reacting to the break up. Most people get upset at the end of a relationship, particularly when they don't want it to end, but he will get over it in time.

Getting back together with him would only be cruel to you both-considering you still feel nothing for him it would only be a matter of time before you realised you were only in it to keep him happy (believe me I know), and the second time round would just be more painful for him. You're doing the right thing honey *hugs*

Emj85 agony auntHi Hun,

Im in exactly the same situation(altho we havent broke up and im older than you) but all i can say is what my mum told me - follow your heart. Maybe just be friends for a while and learn to bond deeper with each other you might then find something that wasnt there before then again you may not but at least you tried. Ive told my boyfriend I feel that I am growing apart from him but like you Im not sure if i feel anything for him. Maybe try talking to him. Hes too young to know he wants to be with you forever so i dont think i would take that totally on board he may care deeply and be genuinely upset but if your the dunpee in future - dont do by msn it isnt nice. Have the decency to do it to his face and no offence but that doesnt show you care very much. Concentrate on school and be friends.
